Nginx + php fastcgi unable to open file, permission denied - php

Question

I am having some permission issues with Nginx and Php fastcgi when trying to get to the php file. I am using 5.5.15 and Nginx 1.6.0 in Redhat 7 .
My php file is very simple for now.
<?php
echo "\nscript owner : ".get_current_user()."\n";
$myFile = '/usr/share/nginx/html/test.log';
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can''t open file");
?>
Get current user will result in : "myuser"
The error that I am getting is the following:
2014/08/26 22:47:14 [error] 6424#0: *16 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: fopen(/usr/share/nginx/html/test.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/share/nginx/html/test.php on line 19" while reading response header from upstream, client: XXXXXX, server: XXXXXXX, request: "GET /test.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "XXXXXXX"
Here is the permissions for the directory /usr/share/nginx( all of the parent directories have x permissions):
drwxrwsrwx. 4 myuser myuser 4096 Aug 26 22:32 html
Running the following commands:
$ ps aux | grep "nginx: worker process"

My Server looks like the following:
server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
And in the nginx.config I am using the same user: "user ec2-user;"
I have also changed the /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf file to have the same user and group.
user = myuser
group = myuser
So, both Nginx and PHP are running on the same user "myuser".
All the directories up to where the log file and the php file are located(/usr/share/nginx/html) have x access and that user has 777 access to that html directory.
Not sure what I am missing. I have been searching online for 2 days now but no luck.

I suppose rights are correct, but you have 3 line of code in test.php, but due to error this is not true :) Check what file you run.
"in /usr/share/nginx/html/test.php on line 19"
